THE GODERICH-SIGNALiSTAR
THURSDAY, NOV. Wild, 195t1
GIVE VOTERS A CHOICE
The municipal notuinationa on Friday of
next week offer an opportunity to public spirit-
ed young men to commence a career that could
win them honor and distinetioit, a:s well as the
experience which -goes with active participation
in civic affairs.
Without implying any dissatisfaction with
the conduct of tht' town's business under the
Council of this year, it can bre said that the
ratepayers should have an opportunity to in-
ject new 1)100d into the civil' administration and
for this purpose would welcome a ballot includ-
ing the names of t'llo0gll newcomers to ittake it
worth while for them to turn 'out to the polls
on election day and indicate their choice •fur
the Council of 1957. . Evert it' t his should result
in the re-election of the present Council the
vote would not he tt ast rd ; it would hive 110'
re-elected hen the satisfaction of feeling that
their work was apureciated and provide an
inventive for even greater efforts itt the cooling
year. Further, it would be the first test. of the
calibre of any ueW aspirants who might fail
to will election. D1auy a good 'luau has been
defeated in his first attempt, but has tried
again and by so doing gained respect a111(1
recognition, won election, and gone o11 to 11u
cuviable career in public servit'e.
l;oderich must either go forward or go
back. The coming year limy be the year iii
which a greater feature for 1 tOW11 may be
assured or that assurance neglected, mishand-
led. lost.
Let us have a full list of nominations and
p111 it lip to the ratepayers to do their fluty on
polling day.
TYPICAL CANADIAN__
With Canada assuming the proportions of
a major power on the world scene and her
soldiers selected ars pait•t of the U.N. police.
force drawing attention to Canada. it seems
fitting at this time to thine; ;trout being it
Canadian.
,JUSt• xvlia1t is ar Canadian'?
To the Atilerioalil, we are -ono of ,1►t'rhaps
two things, First of all, we are probably 0
sort. of mild-mannered Walter Pigeon with
hardly enough gumption and guts to get up
and getaway froin our allegiance to the crown.
Secondly, he,. may think. of us as a pulite
neighbor with untold resources sitting in our
laps and not enoughbrains or money to exploit
them properly.
To Great Britain, we are still younger
brothers in the ColtutlonweaIth.
To the rest of the world, though. we prob-
ably present an entirely different picture. We
represent all that is to come. Make no mis-
take about that. Visiting Russian ('luminaries
have proclaimed that the next eet►tury belongs
to Canada and Russia.
We. heard a speaker not long ago say that
what the United States did in 150 years, Can-
ada mist be prepared to do in 2.5. It took the
1'.S. 150 years to become perhaps the strongest
nation in the world. Canada is likely to do it
in half the time.
That. to our mind, is a picture of the
typical Canadian. lie 'is a strong-minded yet
sentimental type with the proper amount of
humility and determination to make this coun-
try take its place as perhaps the greatest of
sill time.
All he needs now is a national spirit to •
bring his deep and abiding love for his country
from under the wrappers and mothballs under
which he has hidden it for, lo, these many
years. We must all awaken to the fact that
it's great to be a Canadian.

Temperance Act
(St. Marys Argus -Journal)
According to research, done in
Huron County by the Goderich
Junior Chamber of Commerce well
over 50 per cent of the people in
the county would welcorlie a re-
peal of the Canada Temperance
Act. A poll was made by all un-
named research organization at
the request of the Jaycees.
The poll further showed that
•liquor retail stores would be wel-
come In the county but that the
possibility of beveragerooms and
cocktail lounges was "most. - re-
mote.”
According to a Goderich Jaycee
spokesman their organization. did
this research as a public service
and was "not backing or endorsing
any skle in the issue, but is merely
offering infopnation for the public
to act upon as it sees lit."
There seems to be a general lack
of knowledge concerning the .con-
VIIURSDAY, NOV.; 22n
,}1958
tents of the Temperance Act of
1884, popularly citta as tlherCan-
ada Temperance Act,. Copies of
the act are readily available and a
glance through it will show the,
proceedings to be taken' if `h,,,test
is desired as to its general popu-
larity. The Act says thaa
petition to the Governor in Coun-
cil . . signed by • one-fourth or
more of the electors od snot coun-
ty .. is adopted by the electors
.. . the Governor In Council may
declare that . this Act
shall no longer be ha force."
There are people' in this com:
munity, who would like to, see the
Act put to the test at the polls.
There are many others whet -have'
no complaints concerning it. If a
petition is to the made in the Coun-
ty of Perth some' up of individ .
uals is faced wit ' 'a tremendous
amount of organizational 4votrk be-
fore such a 'novo can be under-
taken.
- It would be certainly wise for
any such groups to survey the situ-
ation very carefully, as was done
in Goderich, before starting on
such a venture.
